Davin heard this story on NPR today, and stopped by our corner drug store to pick up the supplies to try this experiment. Unfortunately, I didn't catch it on my camera (battery problem), although I do have a nice picture of our patio table covered with Diet Coke, oh so exciting.

Anyway, here is actual video for your pleasure. It was pretty much like that here, only outside and I think ours went a little higher with no pesky bathroom ceiling to hinder it.

I really wish I could have been there when this was first discovered. I have no idea what made them decide to try this, but I'm guessing there was some awed silence for at least a couple of seconds after the explosion. My horde actually went into a shocked hush at the sight. It lasted less than a second, but it was still kinda spooky.
